Alaska!

This September I had the opportunity and joy to go to Alaska with my Mom and daughter, McKenzie.  I though Arizona was a beautiful State, but Alaska certainly has its beauty.  I have never been around so many natural lakes in my life.  I have gotten so used to the man-made lakes in Arizona that I forgot how to image the real ones.

The icebergs and massive glaciers were gorgeous.  Let us not forget the humpback whales!  Beautiful!  I wouldn't mind living in AK for a year of exploration.  All that being said - I do not want to believe that this could possibly be a place where our future Vice President was born.  Lawd!

We spent 4 days on land before we headed for the ship (and lots of fattening food).  We started in Anchorage and moved through Mt. Kinley (1 day) and Denali (2 days).  We embarked on the ship in Whittier and cruised to Vancouver, BC - stopping in Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan.

Here are some photos from the trip:

 

Like I said... just a beautiful place.
